The Size of the Bitcoin Blockchain Data Files Has Reached 60GB

11Jan 2016

The size of the Bitcoin Blockchain data files continues to rise rapidly hitting 60 GB already, up with 10 Gigabytes for a bit less than three and a half months when it was just about 50GB and up with about 20 GB for the last about 7 months and most likely doubling in size in the last 1 year. The increase in size is to be expected with more transactions happening on the Blockchain as more users are getting interested in Bitcoin and the continuing adoption of the crypto currency by more users. The big size of the complete Bitcoin Blockchain data however is already a bit of a problem for some users that don’t have that much free space on their computer and want to run the Bitcoin Core wallet with the full local copy of Blockchain or people that want to be providing a Full Bitcoin Node. If the trend remains the same we are looking at about 120 GB or more n terms of size for the BTC Blockchain in just about a year, so there is something to think about…
